Taking 1200mg of ibuprofen is above the typical recommended dose (400-600mg), but for your weight, it's not likely to cause serious harm if its a one-time occurrence. However, watch for signs of stomach upset, dizziness, or any unusual symptoms. If you experience anything concerning, contact a healthcare professional right away.
